Hidden in the heart of Atlanta, a pristine forest shimmers with magic, but an unscrupulous developer plans to flatten Silver Park – unless two brave women can stop him. Arden Collier and Parker Gozer fight to save the place that has tangled itself around their hearts like flowering kudzu vines.

Historical Fiction

Arden Collier risks losing her home in Silver Park – one of Atlanta’s historic African American communities. Parker Gozer remains haunted by memories of Buddy Caldwell, the man who preyed upon her in childhood. When he announces a plan to flatten Silver Park, both women brace for battle.
